The Winged Lion
Chosen by the founding class of Seattle Lutheran in 1978, the winged lion remains the schools mascot and symbolizes the strong tradition of character development at Seattle Lutheran High School. This lion symbolism appears in Ezekiel’s vision where four winged creatures represent the four evangelists (Ezekiel 1:10). Matthew is depicted as a human, Mark as a lion, Luke as a bull, and John as an eagle. St. Mark the Evangelist is credited as the author of the earliest canonical Gospel and founder of the first famous Christian school. This symbol comes from Mark’s description of John the Baptist’s voice crying out in the wilderness upon hearing the Word of God (Mark 1:3). His voice is said to have sounded like that of a roaring lion.
